Valentine's Day flowers

The florists can't encourage people to have their arrangements delivered a few days in advance, because people won't be in the office to enjoy them for as long.

"They're classic, you know", Viviano said. "We design our collection and determine what are the actual flower arrangements and bouquets that we'll be selling", said Brittany Graunke, CEO of Flowers For Dreams.

Monday represented the calm before the storm, which will roll in Tuesday. It's no longer left until the last minute, as the majority (28%) of Valentine's purchases in the UAE are made on 11 February. "That's when the phones will be ringing off the hook", Hirst said.

And unsurprisingly, florists experienced a whopping 500 per cent increase in sales on Valentine's Day past year compared with an average Tuesday that month. You can recut them at each water change as well.
